Thought I'd go for a ride up Thompson's Track today... Solo not sure if it was the smartest idea for my first time, but I made it .

Some logging guys even let me go up the other road there, had to turn back due to machinery blocking the way further up.

Not another soul on the track. Was a great day for it.

Nice pics (not allowed copy as might get hit with a ban hammer )

On that WR thingy you would be pretty safe as you could always chuck it on you back and walk out if need be

[oneblackflag]

just remember before you get carried away and go right over (dont want to fook your back up) that was the easy side

Haha yea thought I better wait for an accomplice to try the other side mate. Back seems to be holding up, so when you're ready..

Haha not that tough, Dino probably could; would be like walking out a pig for him.

Fingers crossed for you Dino. Tauranga wouldn't be a bad place to live.

Swaped out the ~7.5l tank with an ~11.5l one on the trusty WRr today. I see some more remote rides coming my way.... Well even just a proper explore in the back blocks towards Port Waikato, without the constant fear of not getting to the next stop.

Nice, my quess is you will have a 240k + range now

Good ride over to Port Waikato today testing the new tank range.

Klondyke Rd was great, my first time over it. Had one of you lot been over today? Could see the calling cards of someone who s to 'steer with the rear' .



Nice burnt out car FTW:


Some young fullas got their Forester stuck in the sand, was a laugh


Good times.

Only got about 170k's to the tank today... Fair fanging it though + I'm injecting alot more fuel than stock

Oh I was fast & safe but maybe not as smooth as an orange street tripple....

Need a few more runs to find out a fair range.

How much does reserve hold, Ktm will do 80ks on that (you tend to back of a bit once light goes on) so you might have more range than you think ?

Nice pics BTW
